Description

We never planned on selling basic tree/pearl oysters or other types of oysters other than kings because they are generally easily cloned from store-bought mushrooms, because many other people sell their spawn and cultures and because we wanted to focus on other edible species.

However we obtained this strain off an old friend and it was a monster. Transferred to six petri dishes its growth was so outrageous that it literally broke open four of these plates. Similarly on grain it had to be fed or kept busy or ‘blow-out’ (jar lid being ripped open due to growth pressure from biomass) would occur every time.

In one case we spawned two small cups of straw with 1/2 cup of millet spawn and resulted in clearly over 100% bioefficiency/mushroom weight measured against substrate weight.

In every way this is a scary agro strain. My wife named it after hearing a petri dish crack open.

We dont plan on having this strain available for a lengthy time so early order may avoid disappointment.

DISCLAIMER

The point of our blog is not to suggest that all of these species are reliably safe to pick in the wild and eat. This blog is more a collection of taxonomical information about species of interest - some of which do have a traditional heritage of being described as edible species but some that are just of interest generally - rather than the promoting or advocating of the consumption of wild mushrooms. IT IS UP TO YOU AND YOU ONLY TO GET THE PROPER IDENTIFICATION AND CONFIRMATION OF EDIBILITY.
